Happy Heart!

Monday, March 9, 2015

Last week was the hardest week of my life. We have grieved and also felt closer to God than ever before. Husband and I were loved (and are still being loved) so well by our people. After such a rough week, I knew that I wanted to start this week off more joyful. To share the things that make my heart happy. Because I know that when I can find the happy in my life, things start to feel better. And that's certainly what I need as I continue to heal both physically and emotionally. So I'm bringing back my Happy Heart list for those things that make me terribly happy.

time spent with our house group (at the beach); we've never actually been to the beach as a group, but you wouldn't guess it from this awesome photo one of the guys 'doctored' up. Husband and I can always count on these people to show us God's love and support...and also bring us joyful laughter

home cooked meals

fresh squeezed lemonade

extra sunlight (the only good thing about daylight savings)

picking out furniture

a completed DIY project

feeling the Lord's presence and closeness

putting up holiday décor/touches (thankful for St. Patty's Day and Easter)

Join me in thinking of those things that make you terribly happy too. Leave it in a comment below!

Love your favorites, some of mine include seeing my Easter Lilies break through the snow covered ground, spending some much needed time with my other half, cuddling my littlest loves on the couch after a busy 12 hour shift, and being able to use my outdoor grill even if it is short lived.

MEET ASTLEIGH

I'm Astleigh, wife to a scruffy-bearded engineer + mama to our darling girl, and we call the mountains of Virginia home. Smitten with fall, coffee, and the holidays, I am a firm believer in curating a cozy home, cultivating inspiration, taking too many photos, and celebrating all the things. So very happy to have you here!
